The vision of the Global Water Partnership-Caribbean (GWP-C) is for a water secure Caribbean. GWP-C’s mission is to support Caribbean countries in the sustainable management of their water resources at the community, national and regional level.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formally launched in 2004, GWP-C is 1 of 13 Regional Water Partnerships (RWPs) of the Global Water Partnership (GWP) Organisation which was founded in 1996 by the World Bank, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) to foster Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IWRM is the coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources in order to maximise economic and social welfare without compromising the sustainability of ecosystems and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GWP-C is committed to working with its partners to promote and strengthen interaction and co-operation at all levels and across different sectors to sustain IWRM in the Caribbean region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any entity in the Caribbean with an interest in water sustainability can become a partner of GWP-C. With more than 120 partners in over 22 Caribbean territories, GWP-C\u2019s partners include public water management agencies; other government agencies; water user associations; private water management agencies; private sector organisations; professional and civic organisations; non-governmental organisations; community based organisations; regional organisations; consultancy organisations; youth organisations; among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
